ABSTRACT

 This project describes the working of a wireless heartbeat and temperature monitoring system
based on a microcontroller ATmega328 (Arduino Uno).Most monitoring systems that are in
use today’s world works in offline mode but our system is designed such that a patient can be
monitored remotely in real time.
 This project is named as “DIGITALLY SENSE HEART RATE AND BODY TEMPERATURE USING
ARDUINO”. With the development of technology, in this project we can digitally sensing body
temperature and heart rate using Arduino.

INTRODUCTION

 Heart rate measurement indicates the soundness of the human cardiovascular system. This
project demonstrate a technique to measure the heart rate by sensing the change in blood
volume in a finger artery while the heart is pumping the blood.
 The area of work of this project is based on Electronics Communication and Computer
Science. This project is basically done by Arduino. Because Arduino can sense the
environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by
controlling lights, motors, and other actuators so Arduino is a main part of this project. Arduino
coding is needed for sensing heart rate and body temperature by using Arduino software.

HEARTBEAT SENSOR

 Heartbeat sensor is an electronic device that is used to

measure the heart rate i.e., speed of heart beat.
 Monitoring heart rate is very important for athletes,
patients as it determines the condition of the heart(just
heart rate).
PRINCIPLE:-
The principle behind the working of the heartbeat sensor is
Photoplethysmograph. According to this principle, the
changes in the volume of blood in an organ is measured
by the changes in the intensity of the light passing through
that organ

FIG3.CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF
HEARTBEAT SENSOR
WORKING:-
 A simple heartbeat sensor consists of a sensor and a control circuit. The sensor part of the
heartbeat sensor consists of an IR LED and a photo Diode placed in a clip.
 The control circuit consists of an Op-Amp IC and few other components that help in
connecting the signal to a Microcontroller. The working of heartbeat sensor can be
understood better if we take a look at its circuit diagram

LM35 TEMPERATURE SENSOR

 LM35 is a contact temperature sensor which is a

semiconductor based sensor.
 LM35 is basically a very low cost and easily available
sensor.
 It is an integrated analog temperature sensor whose
electrical output is proportional to degree centigrade.
 Main advantage of LM35 is that it is linear i.e. 10mv/C
which means for every degree rise by 10mv.

LCD

 In order o display the heartbeat readings in

bpm, we have to connect a 16*2 LCD display
to the Arduino UNO.
 An LCD is an electronic display module which
uses liquid crystal to produce a visible image.
 The 16*2 LCD display is a very basic module
commonly used in DIYs and circuits.
 The 16*2 display 16 charecters per line in 2
such lines.

Transferring Arduino UNO Processed Data
to Android Device via Bluetooth

 HC-05 module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP(serial

port protocol) module ,designed transparent
wireless serial connection setup.
 The HC-05 module communicates with the Arduino
via a serial connection and transfers data to the
connected android device.
CONNECTIONS:-
 Connect VCC with 3.3V of Arduino.
 Connect GND with any GND of Arduino.
 Connect Rx pin with Tx of Arduino.
 Connect Tx pin with Rx of Arduino.

BUZZER

 A buzzer or beeper is an audio

signalling device, which may be
mechanical, electromechanical, or
piezoelectric. Typically uses of buzzers
and beepers include alarms, timers
and confirmation of user input such as
a mouse click or keystroke.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

 You can measure heart rate at any spot on the body where you can feel a pulse with your
fingers. The most common places are wrist and neck . You can count the number of pulses
within a certain interval (say 15 sec), and easily determine the heart rate in bpm.
 This project describes a microcontroller based heart rate measurement system that uses
optical sensors to measure the alteration in blood volume at finger
 Tip with each heart beat. The sensor unit consists of an IR LED and a photodiode , placed
facing to each other. The IR diode transmits an infrared light into the fingertip and the
photodiode senses the portion of the light that is reflected back.
 So, each heat beat slightly alters the amount of reflected infrared light that can be detected
by the photodiode. This little change in the amplitude of the reflected light can be converted
into a pulse. The pulses can be later counted by the microcontroller to determine the heart
rate.

 Also a graphical LCD can be used to display a graph of the change of
heart rate over time.
 Storing the heart rate in a memory.
